A Son Comes Home

Rating:
Summary: I couldn't help thoroughly enjoying "A Son Comes Home".
Review: I read "A Son Comes Home" this weekend. An interesting adaptation of the story of the Prodigal Son. More of a prodigal son, daughter, and father story which takes place in Indianapolis IN...you'll have to read it to get this. I particularly enjoyed the characters in the midwestern Indiana setting. The descriptions are so real that the book seems almost autobiographical in places. As a new father, this book spoke to me. I enjoyed it more than Song of Fire.

Summary: A Powerful Story that Relates to Every Generation!
Review: Reminiscent of Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, Bentz manages to capture the spirit and breath of each of the several characters through which the story is portrayed. Whether the plot is being told by a teenage girl, an aging father, or a seeking son, the reader gets a chance to glimpse into the real soul of each personality. With skill and subtlety, Bentz explores timeless issues of family ties, loneliness, and acceptance, and how they relate to a series of generations. No matter where in life readers find themselves when reading this book, they are sure to feel at home with at least one of the emotions explored in this true-to-life story.

Summary: It is a good book. A true to life family story.
Review: This book will appeal to all who are interested in reading about real life-like stories. I enjoyed it very much, however, it was depressing to know that family members who love one another so much could not express their true feeling to each other. "Song Of Fire" remains my favorite book by Mr. Bentz. I have read it twice, and look forward to reading it again. Maybe it is time for Mr Bentz to revisit "Caladria". PLEASE!
